a country weekend

it's nice to get away sometimes (all the time). i was upstate last weekend with some friends. there was a lot of lounging about, swimming, grilling, aimless (but sometimes weirdly heated) discussions about celebrities, and a really lovely early morning walk.

we went into hudson one day. lunch was grilled cheese at grazin, and then window-shopping down warren street. steph and amy picked up some plants at the secret gardener on warren street.

i saw this pretty pink house, which reminded me of this one.

and then back at the house, i ogled the decor some more before jumping into the pool.
